By skyforbes I’ve hit a pretty big rough patch in life. I’m disabled and I moved in with my grandpa (myself and my brother). My brother is developmentally disabled. We both get social security disability income. My grandpa owns his house and does not accept any money from us. The condition to living with him was that we buy all of our own stuff and food and that was that. All until we are able to hopefully get something situated and find our own place.
So we do not give him money. We buy our own essentials and food. He buys his own stuff, but we do live together. He still worries that he would have to count us as part of his household and our income and he worries if that is the case then he will lose his medicaid insurance. I told him that I do not think we wiuld necessarily count as a household or income he would claim since we literally give him no money as he will not accept money from us. So our income is not household income.
I’m stressed and worried too now because I never want to mess anything up for him. Thank you! I live in the state of Ohio.
EDIT: to add my grandpa is retired and he is 67 years old. We are not claimed as dependents.
